Voters showed an appreciation for the voluptuous form of Valve's Gabe Newell in the Victoria's Secret "Love Your Body By Victoria" contest, propelling him to the No.2 place before his entry was deemed ineligible.

Somehow I imagine that Victoria's Secret didn't quite have these results in mind when it launched its "Love Your Body by Victoria" contest to send an amateur model (and Victoria's Secret connoisseur) to New York City for three days. But then again, it was its own fault for running a contest on the Internet:

Amidst all the buxom, underwear-clad would-be models on the site, one leading entry stood out from the rest - Valve managing director Gabe Newell certainly had a, uh, larger presence than any of the others on the list. In fact, with a whopping current vote total of 31827, he stood at second place in the popular vote.

As Kotaku's Owen Good points out, the fact that Newell was second place to 4chan founder "moot" for some time indicates heavy involvement from the popular anonymous imageboard. That's not all that surprising, really - 4chan visitors interfered with the results of a significantly more high-profile contest (the TIME Person of the Year polls) back in April.

Though Newell's page (and presumably moot's as well) still exist and have not had their vote totals wiped, the contest runners presumably caught onto the shenanigans, deemed Newell (who was clearly not wearing a bra at all, much less a Victoria's Secret design) ineligible, and removed him from the active entries.

Considering how they have fairly large (lets use the word for Newell) fanbases it doesn't surprise me.

This was just kind of nasty. I know that's what 4chan does and all, but really, guys? Really? This is what you spend your spare time doing? When you could be pooling your collective brainpower to something more useful, like a cure to swine flu? :P

Blame Obama/Government Officials for not finding a way. They sit around and do jack shit all day :P And, this is much better.

JimmyBassatti:Damn it, Victoria Secrets! He was probably sexier than all the other slutty models they use to advertise...

Probably had bigger boobs, too :V

Yeah, that's true. But I mean, they get those tooth-pick sized models, who wear a fuck load of eyeliner and make up, and they are god damn pale. That shit makes me sick. Also, is it wrong if I want to see Gabe Newell in Victoria Secrets products? xD

Depends on your motives, as the actress said to the bishop.

Hmmm. That is true, I would deduce. Well than, ol' bean, what shall we do on this night?

So had Newell worn a bra, Victoria Secret would be flying him to NewYork right now?
